Measuring poles

Made by Japanese manufacturer Senshin, using telescopic
fibreglass sections.
The internal measuring
tape is not made out of steel but fibreglass.

All of these poles have an internal tape measure
which provides superior accuracy and ease of
reading. It also avoids potential reading errors
when one of the sections is not extended, which
can happen with poles with a graduation printed
on the outside of the pole.

The 8m version is the most popular and is
widely used by organisations like the Roads &
Traffic Authority and the Police highway patrol
for checking vehicle heights and overhead
clearance.

The model SK202 poles are

Reading the height is easy with
the in-built tape measure which the
manufacturer calls digital.

The accuracy of the pole reading
exceeds 1/2000

SK206 (5m) Vehicle height pole - the professional
solution

Based on the first 5 sections of the 8m
version of the SK202, the SK206 (5 m) is especially
designed for vehicle height checking.

Features a
right-angle adapter and a 1.3 m crossbar so you can measure the
height of a truck from the middle of the
vehicle rather than the side. A great
way to avoid finding out the hard way that
the air inlet snorkel is too high (picture)

includes a staff bubble to keep the pole
vertical, plus a canvas carry bag
